It's just a matter of editing the alternative-install-vs2005.bat and rerunning it. Granville Barnett has more details here:

p.s. I too installed VS 2008 this morning :)

Thanks for the tip!

That worked ... mostly. It doesn't give access to the fsi Add-On, so I'll still have to use VS2005.

I noted that limitation on Granville's blog.

P.S. Spoke too soon about the Firefox forum posting fix. Firefox can't post at all, had to fire up IE7.

Fixed this by going to Tools, Options, Add-in/Macros Security and adding:

C:\Program Files (x86)\FSharp-1.9.2.9\bin (which contains the vs90.addin file)

w00t! [:)]

Okay, not quite.

Actually, used path to C:\temp\FSharp ... the above path fails, for lack of permission.

Also, colorization of syntax not working. Worst of all, no Intellisense.

Meh.

I've successfully been using F# on VS2008 for a week or so now. It's kinda flaky.

One one machine, it was a clean install - WinXP - VS2008 - F# 1.9.3.7. That worked.

On another machine, I did WinXP, VS2005, F# 1.9.3.7, VS2008, and it worked. The VS2008 installer loaded all of my VS2005 addins just fine.

Yesterday I installed the VS 2008 SDK (to play around with the VS2008 Shell), and that clobbered some F# settings. I could still run FSI inside VS2008, but the syntax highlighting and Intellisense didn't work. Uninstalling and reinstalling F# fixed the problem.

Also, every so often when I close VS2008, I'll get a dialog box that says something about a pure virtual function call. I suspect that it's the FSI addin that's causing VS2008 grief.

Hopefully that's helpful for someone.

On my computer at home I had F# running inside of the VS2005 that comes when you install sql server express.

I then downloaded \ installed the VS2008 shell and F# did not show up in the IDE.

I then uninstalled F# and then reinstalled it and everything seems to be working fine now in VS2008 shell.
